Enterprise Cybersecurity Vulnerability Risk Analyst

Enterprise Cybersecurity Vulnerability Risk Analyst Cyber threats are everywhere, and vulnerabilities can create risk quickly when findings are not reviewed, prioritized, tracked, and resolved through clear ownership. In all of this cyber noise, how can organizations make practical, risk‑informed decisions about vulnerability remediation, deferrals, exceptions, and appeals? The answer is you — an information security risk specialist who can help turn complex vulnerability information into clear decisions and accountable action. Responsibilities Manage the operational lifecycle of vulnerability exceptions, deferrals, appeals, and related risk decisions. Review technical and business justifications, validate mitigating controls, assess risk impact, and help determine whether requests align with enterprise standards, risk tolerance, and compliance expectations. Partner with vulnerability management, cyber architecture and engineering, hosting, network services, business information security officers, technical risk officers, product owners, and system owners to support timely, consistent, and defensible remediation decisions. Use ServiceNow and related workflow tools to track vulnerability risk decisions, maintain accurate records, identify aging or bottlenecked items, and generate reporting on exception trends, workflow metrics, remediation status, and recurring risk themes. Help improve the consistency and maturity of the vulnerability exception and deferral program by strengthening intake criteria, decision documentation, escalation paths, and operational reporting. Qualifications You Have 5+ years of experience supporting cybersecurity operations, vulnerability management, security findings management, technology risk, cyber risk, or remediation tracking. Experience managing the lifecycle of security findings or vulnerabilities, including intake, assignment, tracking, aging, reporting, escalation, remediation coordination, or closure validation. Experience evaluating vulnerability deferrals, exceptions, appeals, risk acceptances, or remediation delays, including review of technical and business justifications. Experience assessing mitigating controls, service level agreement compliance, risk‑based prioritization, or risk‑based decisioning for vulnerability findings. Experience using workflow platforms such as ServiceNow to manage vulnerability response, risk management, ITSM, CMDB, issue tracking, or remediation workflows. Knowledge of vulnerability management concepts, cloud security findings, Cloud Security Posture Management, remediation workflows, and operational risk reporting. Ability to translate technical vulnerability data into clear risk summaries, workflow metrics, exception trends, and status updates for technical teams and risk governance forums. Ability to coordinate across technical and business teams during fast‑paced remediation decision cycles. HS diploma or GED. Nice If You Have Experience with ServiceNow Vulnerability Response, Integrated Risk Management, ITSM, CMDB, or workflow automation.
